A few years back—maybe 20 or 30 years—somebody produced a hilarious short film called (if I remember correctly) "Poppin' Death," which might have been the inspiration for this little report. I wouldn't be surprised if the Pillsbury Company suppressed it because of trademark infringement, but not before it was shown on local TV here in Minnesota. (The company headquarters is in Minneapolis.)

I just did a Google search, and was unable to find any reference to the film. I am not making this up. Could I have gotten the title wrong? I don't think so.

It was a very short film, maybe a minute or so, the length of a typical TV commercial, which it resembled. If it's out there, you ought to be able to download it. I hesitate to describe it, for fear of spoiling the joke, just in case it IS out there. It's essentially a one-joke film.
